About Heart Disease Rate by Country

Heart disease rate is a population-level health indicator used to compare the prevalence represented in the dataset across countries and territories. The 2026 heart disease rates by country ranking expresses values per 100,000 people, allowing countries with different population sizes to be compared using a standardized measure. The dataset includes an overall heart disease rate together with separate male and female rates, making it possible to examine both international and sex-based differences. Rates can vary across populations for many reasons, including demographics and other health, behavioral, environmental and socioeconomic factors. The source identified in the supplied dataset is WHO.

Definitions & Methodology

What does heart disease rate by country measure?

Heart disease rate by country shows the heart disease prevalence represented in the dataset for every 100,000 people in each country or territory.

How are countries ranked?

Countries and territories are ranked from highest to lowest according to their overall heart disease rate.

What do male and female heart disease rates mean?

The dataset provides separate rates for males and females, allowing differences between the two population groups to be compared within each country or territory.

What unit is used?

All heart disease rates are shown per 100,000 people (Per 100K).

Why are rates shown per 100,000 people?

Using a standardized rate per 100,000 people makes it easier to compare countries and territories with different population sizes.

What is the source of the heart disease data?

The source listed in the supplied dataset is WHO.

How should the rankings be interpreted?

A higher value represents a higher heart disease rate in the dataset, while a lower value represents a lower rate. These figures are population-level measures and should not be interpreted as an individual's personal risk.
